Yayoi Kusama - Accumulation (1963)

“Kusama’s creations are a direct result of her precarious psychological state, an illness she refers to as ‘obsessional neurosis’. She began having hallucinations as a child and currently lives out of choice in a psychiatric ward in her native country. 

She has said of her work: ‘It arises from a deep, driving compulsion to realize in visible form the repetitive image inside me.’”

Craig Walsh - Humanature (1998-2008)

Artist’s statement:

“A site-specific project that transforms plants and trees by day into monumental sculptures by night. This illusion is produced through slide or video projection of computer-manipulated portraits, pre-recorded video or live video feeds of actors onto trees, which have a similar 3-Dimensional form as a the human head.

The outcome of this process is monumental heads glowing in the darkness, often perceived by the audience as a giant hologram or an elaborate form of topiary. In the case of live video feeds, the audience can freely converse with the tree in a real time interactive event.”

likeafieldmouse: Richard Dupont - In Direction (2008) Based on full-body scans of the artist’s body, “the viewer walks around the figure and gets all these different perspectives as the surface changes. That’s one way the distortions are interesting, because no two perspectives are the same. A lot of people see it and think it’s flat, then realize it’s an object—that’s a hard thing for the brain to process immediately. But it’s not just retinal, it’s also physiological: There’s a queasiness, an anxiety caused by the brain not being able to understand the two things at once.”
